He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Shirakawa asked Miike in a low voice, "This, this guy is Kevin?"

"Ah."

His attire and appearance truly match his voice perfectly.

Are you sure he's reliable?

“Artists are all a bit eccentric…” Miike comforted her.

"Miss Miike, it's been a long time." Kevin bowed to Miike and then turned to face Kana.

"Is this the model who came to take photos? Wow, what a figure and what a face."

Kevin looked Kana up and down, praising her repeatedly.

Kana kept her head down, feeling very uncomfortable being looked at and praised by a strange man.

"This is my aunt. Please be careful and don't do anything inappropriate."

"No, no, how could I dare? Boss Shirakawa, besides, this lady is nowhere near as charming as you." Kevin chuckled at Shirakawa.

"It's good that you don't dare." Seeing that Kevin's gaze was indeed somewhat intense when he looked at him, Shirakawa didn't say anything more.

This time he was completely relieved.

The three women followed Kevin into the photography studio, which had two floors; the lower floor was the office area.

"Mr. Shirakawa, thank you for your trust in allowing me to continue running this photography studio. I will do my best to create more works of artistic value."

"Forget about the artistic value. I spent a lot of money to buy this place. Just tell me how to monetize it." Shirakawa bought this place to make money.

"Okay, boss, please come with me."

Kevin went to the office computer in the corner and showed Shirakawa the emails containing his negotiations with the Hoshimiya family.

"Thanks to Mr. Shirakawa's gold card, we have now established a partnership with the Hoshimiya family. We no longer need to find clients and contracts online. We just need to forward the electronic version of the photos we have taken via email, and after confirming that everything is correct, we can mail it to them. The Hoshimiya family's publishing and magazine companies will match the needs with us and then pay us."

In other words, as long as the photos are taken, regardless of the type, they can be monetized by sending them to Xinggong.

"So convenient?"

“Of course, but as convenient as it is, the Hoshimiya family also has very high requirements for the quality of the photos.” Kevin clicked on the computer and showed Shirakawa previous magazine covers and photos from Hoshimiya Magazine.

Shirakawa was amazed by the quality of the Hoshimiya Magazine. The models were all very beautiful, and the composition and lighting were just right, showcasing the models' exquisite beauty. They could even be excellent materials for spellcasting.

"To put it bluntly, as long as you make a good film, you won't have to worry about making money, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Shirakawa. The Hoshimiya family urgently needs photos of housewives and kitchen women. If we can take good photos, we should be able to make a fortune."

Kana took a deep breath, her body trembling slightly, afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle the job.

"Auntie, don't worry, it's just a try. It's okay if you don't do well," Bai Chuan comforted her, patting her shoulder.

Kana nodded.

The atmosphere between the two seemed strange to Kevin, an outsider.

They don't seem like elders and juniors; they look more like a couple.

He originally thought Miike and Shirakawa were a couple.

"Just focus on taking your photos, don't worry about anything else," Miike whispered, noticing Kevin's confusion.

"Okay, okay." Kevin nodded. "Um, everyone, let's not delay, let's go to the second floor to film."

Kyle led the three of them to the second floor.

The second floor was empty, without any partitions. One corner of the room had been converted into a kitchen, with a stove and drawers underneath.

A frying pan was placed on the stove, along with all other kitchen utensils.

The exposure lamps were ready, and the camera was set up on a tripod, aimed at the kitchen.

In another corner of the room was a small dressing room, with all sorts of clothes hanging on a large coat rack outside.

There are swimsuits, housekeeping uniforms, investigator outfits, cosplay outfits—you name it, they have it.

Kevin picked out a simple apron from among them and handed it to Kana.

"Miss, your outfit and apron match perfectly, so you don't need to change. Once you're all dressed up, please come over here for the photoshoot. I'll be here setting up the equipment first."

Kana put on her apron, which was stretched out of shape by the enormous melon.

She looked at the filming location, somewhat hesitant.

But she glanced at Shirakawa, who looked at her expectantly, and Kana mustered her courage and walked to the filming location.

"This time we're advertising household kitchenware. Please pick up the utensils and strike a cooking pose," Kevin said.

Is this so?

Kana held a spatula in one hand and the handle of a frying pan in the other, striking several poses.

However, his movements were very stiff, which was obvious even to laymen like Shirakawa and Miike.

"Miss, please relax your shoulders and hands. Don't clench them. Just leave them where they should be, like you normally would."

Click!Click!

The flashbulbs kept going off as Kevin kept taking pictures.

After a set of photos was taken, Kevin signaled that it was time to stop.

Kana finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the stove for a short rest.

Kevin held the camera and looked back at the photos from earlier, shaking his head repeatedly.

"What's wrong?" Shirakawa asked.

“Although the young lady has a great foundation, her movements are too stiff and unnatural.” Kevin sighed. “What a waste of talent.”

Shirakawa peeked out and looked at Kana's photo: "Isn't she pretty?"

"The way she held the kitchen utensils was unnatural; her body was stiff and rigid, like a sheet of iron. When she did housework, it was in a very ordinary and relaxed state..."

Kevin spoke very logically and persuasively.

Shirakawa took a closer look as Kevin had suggested, and confirmed that it was indeed correct.

"Well, how about we just film it like this?" Shirakawa said softly. "Even if we can't deliver, it's okay. Just give her some encouragement and don't make Auntie too upset."

Shirakawa didn't expect to achieve perfection in one step; he just wanted his aunt to give it a try.

Kevin found their relationship strange for the second time, but didn't say much.

The second round of filming began.

Kevin continued taking photos.

This time, however, Kevin didn't offer many criticisms with a frown. Instead, he smiled and encouraged her. Gradually, Kana relaxed, and many of the photos she took reached a satisfactory level.

However, they will need to work even harder to get past the Hoshimiya family.

Another set of photos has been taken.

Shirakawa found a bottle of mineral water, stepped forward, and handed it to Kana.

Kana accepted it with a smile.

"Auntie, the photos are great. You have a real talent for modeling," Shirakawa praised.

"Really? Hehe." Kana smiled sweetly, "Forget about talent, I'm just happy to be able to help Shirakawa-kun."

Kevin stared wide-eyed at the two interacting intimately, his face full of surprise.

This is it, this is the perfect photo that meets the Hoshimiya family's standards.

Kana is at her most relaxed when she's chatting and laughing with Shirakawa.

Kevin's pursuit of "art" prompted him to press the shutter.

The image of Shirakawa and Kana chatting and smiling at each other in the kitchen was captured by the camera.

Unfortunately, the Hoshimiya family only required female models to appear in this announcement, otherwise this photo could have been sent to them.

However, Kevin suddenly had an inspiration.

"Boss Shirakawa!"

"how?"

"Come here for a moment, and take the camera." Kevin handed the camera to Shirakawa.

Shirakawa took the document, completely bewildered: "What's wrong, Kevin?"

"Now, please be the photographer and take pictures of the young lady."

"Eh???"

289. Shirakawa's first time as a photographer

"I'm here to take pictures? Really?" Shirakawa was stunned.

He has no photography experience; at most, he just travels and takes pictures of scenery.

“Mr. Shirakawa, when it comes to photography, as long as the model is good enough, it can make up for any lack of shooting skills. If that doesn’t work, I can always edit the photos in post-production,” Kevin said. “This lady can only relax and take good photos when she’s with you, so… we won’t bother you any longer.”
